Bulgaria literally smuggled themselves into World Cup 1994, where they arrived brash, bald, and having never won a World Cup game. And then went on to make the semifinals.
Ever wonder why every soccer player nowadays is obscenely attractive? What have they done with the fat ones, the bald, the goateed? As a refreshing tonic, let's remember the mid-'90s, the time of mullets and overweight drunks as professional athletes. One elite defender drove a Soviet tank around.
